Chapter 686 Two Heroes (Part 2)
(...I have said before: A good general should always pay attention to the impact of his safety on the entire battle situation and should not engage in close combat with the enemy at will; but no general I have ever come into contact with has never fought face to face with the enemy... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!..." Panic screams spread across the Japanese defense line. Rows of soldiers rushed into the trench from hidden anti-aircraft holes, staring wide in the darkness to try to find the target in the dark...
"Bang!" A very loud sound - is it the sound of light? The whole night suddenly became like daytime!
In order to deal with the Japanese Air Force, which had an absolute advantage, the Soviet army equipped air defense forces in all units, and searchlights were as numerous as ox in the Soviet army. Suddenly, thousands of light columns hit the Japanese positions. I don’t know whether it was the sound of the switches that turned on all the searchlights together or other reasons, this time the light column was actually sound!
The Japanese, who are mechanized at a high level, are enough to bully the Chinese team, but in fact, the Japanese, who are far from the strong European troops, did not expect that the enemy could turn on so many searchlights in the wild at the same time. The searchlights with their eyes staring in the dark were suddenly blinded!
"Chi Ce Ce Ce! Ce Ce Ce Ce Ce!... Da Da Da Da Da Da!..." The entire battlefield was almost flooded with gunfire within a few seconds, and the Japanese's firepower suddenly reached its peak! I could not see anything, so I could only shoot desperately, and my ears could not hear them soon. They were all filled with various gunfire sounds... The blind and deaf Japanese army had no idea that their crazy shooting had sold all the first-line fire points to the enemy...
"Boom! Boom!..." If the Japanese could still see them, they would definitely be scared to death: the artillery fire of their tank divisions was like fireflies in the comparison of the concentrated artillery fire of five Soviet tank divisions! There was originally a set of molding tactics to use infantry guns to attack tanks. The Japanese always thought that they could completely use Bushido spirit and precise artillery skills and meticulous tactics to defeat the Soviet tank troops. However, the intensity of the attack of the Soviet army exceeded their cognition, and they could not imagine that so many tanks would be gathered together to form a completely unstoppable frenzy!
Even the flares can make the soldiers in the trench's eyes dizzy, let alone the direct searchlight! Because their ears were also shocked by the sound of gunfire, most of the Japanese on the entire line of defense did not see the horror scene of hundreds of tanks emerging from the darkness at the same time: the black steel frenzy instantly submerged their various obstacles and trenches!
The tank raised its body high, crossed the trench like it was standing up and straddled the enemy's trench and then suddenly smashed it down heavily. It just felt the earth trembling, but it was still unable to accurately judge the enemy's position in blindness and was smashed into meat sauce in groups by steel. When one tank after another passed, the tanks behind it would no longer stand up - the Soviet army actually pressed the Japanese fortifications to flat ground!
Heavy artillery units, which were several times stronger than the Japanese equipment, also began to bombard the group of hundreds of 150 artillery artillery, which concentrated all subordinate artillery and a group of ** artillery regiments, were not artillery fire, but hellfire! The artillery group with concentrated firepower could turn over the earth wherever it hit, all fortifications were leveled, and all mines were lured. The already unstoppable torrent of steel hit the Japanese defense belt without any resistance; behind the tank group, the cannon vehicles and armored personnel carriers gathered into a larger torrent torrent to subdue everything...
The Soviet army's attack group consisting of five tank divisions and a large number of mechanized infantry was not allowed to make any breakthroughs according to Zhukov's deployment, and drove straight along the Far East Railway. This army was moving forward not only because of their equipment, but also because of their spirit - General Zhukov, the commander-in-chief, was with them. They drilled through the enemy's positions together, rushed forward frantically together, and went deep into the enemy's backbone together!
"Quick! Let the crew come back..." Okamura Neji lost all his calmness and looked a little hysterical. He almost howled at Izuru Yamamoto on the phone. Izuru Yamamoto had just sent the air force out to deal with the Chinese people for less than an hour, and suddenly the Soviet army began to attack here!
Who would have thought that the plague isolation belt he had worked hard to build was completely useless. The Soviets dared to cross this death belt to launch a raid on their own troops?! Okamura Yanji received the Mongolian incident that the Chinese Expeditionary Force suddenly launched an attack on the entire line, and he immediately asked the defenders on the battlefield of Tulun to be more vigilant and ready to fight at all times. However, neither he nor the Japanese officers and soldiers on the frontline could imagine the strength of the enemy. When he received the emergency on the entire line of Tulun, all the troops were in urgent need of help, in fact, many lines of defense had been torn to pieces!
The Chinese did not have such a strong mechanized force. Even without air support, even if the Japanese in Mongolian were defeated, they would have a chance to escape. But if the Soviets were not able to face the Soviets, they would be crushed into meat sauce! Okamura Yasuji had to issue an emergency order to the aircraft group that had almost arrived at the China-Japan front line, asking them to return to the air and support the Soviet-Japanese battlefield immediately...
We must take advantage of the gap before the Japanese Air Force arrived and stick them all together with the Japanese army! This is one of the tactical details arranged by Sun Liren. The Zhongxun team on the Mongolian battlefield is very clear about the horror of air-ground attacks at the same time. They have never stopped moving forward for a moment since the attack began. No matter how the Japanese retreated or avoided them, they always stick them to them desperately. In the minds of the Zhongxun team, especially these injured veterans who use the Battle of Shanghai as their combat standards, unless they defeat their opponents. Otherwise, once they are stabilized by the enemy without air support, they will have to bear the result of defeat when the enemy's air force arrives. Therefore, these veterans are not because of military discipline when they execute tactics, but because they personally realize that they must fight like this.
The combat style of the Chinese team caught the Japanese army who had always wanted to get rid of them and retain their strength and retreat. The final result of the initial retreat was that the Japanese army could not stabilize their position at all. They were being chased and killed throughout the entire war zone!
Cao Xiaomin did not ask about the results of the battle, but only asked Sun Liren to launch a sufficiently large-scale offensive, but Sun Liren had to ask about the results of the battle! The officers and soldiers of this battle were both good in training and equipment. All the officers above his squad leader had tragic practical experience. But the Japanese later figured out Cao Xiaomin's intention and put pressure on the Soviet army on the Tulun battlefield, they transferred all the veterans who were good at fighting to Tulun. Now, no one in the Japanese army on the large Mongolian battlefield has really experienced bloody battles except for some commanders!
If it was in broad daylight, these Japanese rookies fought step by step under the commander's mobilization, and they might still achieve good results through their training. But now they encountered unconventional battles and met a group of elite elites who had experienced the Battle of Songhu! Half a night was a constant encounter, and a life-for-life battle was suddenly launched face to face. Almost every time they hedge, someone would rush to the enemy to open the way... In Okamura Yanji's mind, the Japanese army, who thought that even if they were attacked, would be enough to gain a foothold and could choose to retreat in an orderly manner, were actually entangled and annihilated by **!
"I have been in China before, and I have come into contact with that legendary Eastern general..." Zhukov did not stay in the bloated command car. He personally went to a tank car that charges into battle with a flashlight to summon the commander of the order when needed. He fought like an ordinary soldier at other times. At this time, after the troops completely crossed the enemy's defense line, he was already chatting with his tank leader leisurely: "General Cao Xiaomin told me that he is not a good general; he said that a good general should always pay attention to the impact of his safety on the entire battle situation, but he fought with the Japanese more than once. It seems that I am not a good general. If the mine just now was not blown up to the armored vehicle next to him, but let us roll on..."
"No! You are a good general, Comrade Zhukov..." The tank captain could not hear any special compliments in his tone. He said calmly: "Maybe a general should not take any risk, but we, all the comrades who participated in the charge, only obeyed one general, and dared to fight bayonets with the enemy..."
"I'm not doing enough, so..." Zhukov shrugged and called the messenger with a flashlight and gave an order in a stunned manner: "Find me a bayonet with Mosinnagan..."
"Shuo!" With a simple sound, Sun Liren stopped the bayonet with the feeling in his hand and twisted it hard before pulling out the bayonet. He looked at the dark short shadow in front of him and fell down. The guards around him were all so scared that they broke out in cold sweat: This division commander is too difficult to serve. If he accidentally took the bayonet, he rushed to the front with his bayonet!
"It would be great if I had a tank, so there would be no need to dirty my hands... Wait, one day my troops would also have tanks, and we would use tanks to roll the Japanese into meat sauce to make it feel good." Sun Liren tilted his head: "Do you suddenly surrounded me like this and want to tell the Japanese sniper who might still be lying on the ground that there is a senior general here? Get out of the way! I have killed a few people?! What are you still worried about!"
The guards were scolded one by one. Before they could come back to their senses, they saw Sun Liren holding a bayonet and rushing towards the pile of black shadows with fighting sounds coming from the front, and quickly ran over like crazy...
"The Soviet army has broken through our defense line and is coming along the railway line..." The staff officer stumbled and handed over the front line report. Okamura Nishi's hands trembled slightly: "How is this possible? My defense line collapsed in three hours!..." But what made Okamura Nishi even more incredible was the telegram asking for help from various troops from Mongolia an hour ago: All units were approached by ** without exception, and the entire army was fighting to the death!!!
